Afinia F502 FanFold Color Label Printer with Pigment Inks (CMYK) for GHS BS5609 Chemical Labels

Canadian Compliance Industrial-Grade Chemical Label Printing

Afinia F502 FanFold Color Label Printer is built for the compliance with GHS (Globally Harmonized System) standards and BS5609 compliance standards for chemical labeling for Canadian markets. Designed for DuraFast Label Company's Canadian clientele, this printer produces highly durable and fade-resistant labels, that endure high-chemical, saltwater immersion and extreme weather conditions, from the oilfields of Alberta to Maritime Atlantic operations. Whether you're labeling WHMIS 2015 compliance drums, cross-border shipping totes, or your workplace safety chemical labels in secondary containers, the F502 guarantees your chemical labels are compliant and readable to federal Canadian and cross-border legislative requirements.

Outstanding Pigment Ink Technology

Advanced technology in CMYK pigment-based ink is used in the Afinia F502, which has separate Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black pigment ink cartridges. Pigment-based inks are differentiated from dyes in that they bond to the substrate of the label and as such, print outs are highly resistant to UV, water, and chemical exposures. Cyan pigment produces high-quality blue for the hazard pictograms and safety symbols and Magenta serves to produce GHS hazard diamonds and warning indicators in rich red colors.

To ensure maximum visibility in yellow, cautionary elements will remain bright and easy to notice, while black pigment legs are used to ensure that the text is neat and clearly legible, whether in regard to the name of the chemical or to the statements on the hazards and precautions. The durability of this 4-color pigment system is superb for outdoor storage, marine transport, and industrial uses where label failure is unacceptable.
